  • Countries at the Crossroads 2012: Malaysia
    COUNTRIES AT THE CROSSROADS Countries at the Crossroads 2012: Malaysia Introduction Malaysia has over 28 million people, of whom approximately 63 percent are ethnic Malay, 25 percent Chinese, 7 percent Indian, and 4 percent Ibans and Kadazan-Dusun.1 Much of this diversity was created through the British formation of an extractive colonial economy, with the “indigenous” Malay community ordered into small holdings and rice cultivation, while the “non-Malays” were recruited from China and India into tin mining and plantation agriculture. Further, in preparing the territory for independence in 1957, the British fashioned a polity that was formally democratic, but would soon be encrusted by authoritarian controls. Throughout the 1960s, greater urbanization brought many Malays to the cities, where they encountered the comparative prosperity of the non-Malays. They perceived the multiethnic coalition that ruled the country, anchored by the United Malays National Organization (UMNO), but including the Malayan Chinese Association (MCA) and the Malayan Indian Congress (MIC), as doing little to enhance their living standards. At the same time, many non-Malays grew alienated by the discrimination they faced in accessing public sector resources. Thus, as voters in both communities swung to opposition parties in an election held in May 1969, the UMNO-led coalition, known as the Alliance, was gravely weakened. Shortly afterward, Malays and Chinese clashed in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, sparking ethnic rioting known as the May 13th incident. Two years of emergency rule followed during which parliament was closed. As the price for reopening parliament in 1971, UMNO imposed new curbs on civil liberties, thereby banning any questioning of the Malay “special rights” that are enshrined in constitution’s Article 153.

  • Malaysia's General Elections Amidst the Shadow of Re-Mahathirisation
    Kajian Malaysia, Vol. 32, Supp. 2, 2014, 1–24 MALAYSIA'S GENERAL ELECTIONS AMIDST THE SHADOW OF RE-MAHATHIRISATION 1* 2 Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid and Muhamad Takiyuddin Ismail 1School of Distance Education, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 USM Pulau Pinang, Malaysia 2Centre of History, Politics and Strategy, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 UKM Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia *Corresponding author: [email protected] This article discusses the phenomenon of re-Mahathirisation which engulfed the politics of Malaysia's ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition and its main component party, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO). Re- Mahathirisation refers to the increase in attachment towards the legacy of Malaysia's fourth Prime Minister, Dr. Mahathir Mohamad (1981–2003). Transpiring not long after Mahathir's relinquishment of official power, the process was seen as approaching a peak with BN-UMNO's campaign for the 13th General Elections (GE13) of May 2013. It was orchestrated especially by conservative elements in UMNO disillusioned with the political liberalisation began by his successor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (2003–2009) and continued by Najib Razak. In line with an understanding of conservatism as characterised by resistance against radical change and by admiration of past values, re- Mahathirisation was employed by the BN-UMNO regime during the GE13 hustings to court the large pool of conservative-minded Malay voters. The successful dislodging of Abdullah Badawi from the party-cum-national leadership in 2009 signified a powerful return of Mahathirism to the foreground of UMNO and national politics. Although Najib Razak has pursued Abdullah's political liberalisation initiatives, he felt compelled to tolerate a rising public presence of Mahathir.

  • Race for Selangor's Rice Belt Heats up Malaysiakini.Com April 01, 2012 by Nigel Aw
    Race for Selangor's rice belt heats up MalaysiaKini.com April 01, 2012 By Nigel Aw Visitors to north-western Selangor would normally expect to be treated to sights of its lush green paddy fields, flickering fireflies or perhaps, warily, a crossing cow or two. But last Sunday, the sleepy town of Kuala Selangor was unusually active, as the town's stadium played host to carnival which saw some 70,000 visitors from sunrise to sunset. pakatan ceramah in kuala selangorThe event, organised in conjunction with the fourth anniversary of the Pakatan Rakyat’s rule in Selangor, was intended to thank the locals for their support. While the urban crowd would have to be content with “thank you” billboards, the extravagance of the Kuala Selangor event suggests a serious attempt by Pakatan to make inroads into the north western 'rice belt', traditionally a BN bastion. This area covers the district of Sabak Bernam and Kuala Selangor, famed for its paddy production and seafood. It consists of nine state seats, six of which are held by BN. In order from North to South, they are Sungai Ayer Tawar (BN), Sabak (BN), Sungai Panjang (BN), Sekinchan (DAP) Sungai Burong (BN) , Permatang (BN), Bukit Melawati (PKR), Ijok (PKR) and Jeram (BN). Pakatan the underdogs Acknowledging that there was an ongoing Pakatan onslaught, Sungai Burong state assemblyperson Mohd Shamsudin Lias is confident in maintaining BN's foothold. NONE"It is clear that after 2008, the rakyat's support has swung back to BN and we should be able to defend our position and increase our majorities," he said.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications BLOGGING AND DEMOCRACY: BLOGS IN MALAYSIAN POLITICAL DISCOURSE A Dissertation in Mass Communications by Ming Kuok Lim © 2009 Ming Kuok Lim Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2009 The dissertation of Ming Kuok Lim was reviewed and approved* by the following: Amit M. Schejter Associate Professor of Mass Communications Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Richard D. Taylor Professor of Mass Communications Jorge R. Schement Distinguished Professor of Mass Communications John Christman Associate Professor of Philosophy, Political Science, and Women’s Studies John S. Nichols Professor of Mass Communications Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This study examines how socio-political blogs contribute to the development of democracy in Malaysia. It suggests that blogs perform three main functions, which help make a democracy more meaningful: blogs as fifth estate, blogs as networks, and blogs as platform for expression. First, blogs function as the fifth estate performing checks-and-balances over the government. This function is expressed by blogs’ role in the dissemination of information, providing alternative perspectives that challenge the dominant frame, and setting of news agenda. The second function of blogs is that they perform as networks. This is linked to the social-networking aspect of the blogosphere both online and offline. Blogs also have the potential to act as mobilizing agents. The mobilizing capability of blogs facilitated the mass street protests, which took place in late- 2007 and early-2008 in Malaysia.

  • Khir Toyo Cleans up Massage Parlours Malaysiakini.Com March 20, 2007
    Khir Toyo cleans up massage parlours Malaysiakini.com March 20, 2007 Selangor has launched a clean-up of its massage parlours to curb illicit sex and the spread of diseases amid a tourism drive. Mentri Besar Mohamad Khir Toyo said only certified masseuses would be allowed to work and operate spas, which would help shut down illegal, sex-oriented massage parlours. "Most people want a good rub down, someone to knead their aching muscles. Our regulations ensure that the massage parlours provide authentic massage and not entice their customers into vice activities," he was quoted as saying in the Star daily. "From May, those wanting to work as a masseuse in the state must have a certificate from a certified training centre," he said. Medical tests Besides being certified, masseuses in Selangor, one of Malaysia's more wealthy and developed states, will have to undergo medical tests to make sure they are disease- free. "We want to ensure that the masseuse who has close contact with the customers does not pass on a disease," he said. Khir said the clean-up was also necessary with massage gaining recognition as an alternative therapy and an expected influx of tourists to Malaysia this year amid a nationwide tourism push. "With Visit Malaysia Year, tourists visiting Selangor should be treated to the best massage techniques," he said. Malaysian massage parlours have traditionally had a sleazy reputation as fronts for illegal sex workers. However, like its neighbours Thailand and Indonesia, Malaysia has become home to an increasing number of spas and health resorts as wealthy Malaysians seek massages to alleviate stress.

Terdahulu, Dr Mohd Khir bertemu Perdana Menteri selama hampir 30 minit bersama dengan Timbalan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Setiausaha Umno Tan Sri Khalil Yaacob, dan Pengerusi Badan Perhubungan Umno Selangor Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib. Pengumuman pelantikan Anggota Dewan Undangan Negeri Sungai Panjang itu sebagai Menteri Besar Selangor dibuat semalam. Dr Mohd Khir menggantikan Datuk Seri Abu Hassan Omar yang meletakkan jawatan secara mengejut pada 10 Ogos lepas atas alasan kesihatan. Dalam sidang media yang turut disertai Abdullah, Khalil dan Muhammad, Dr Mohd Khir berkata beliau akan mengadakan perbincangan dengan para pemimpin Umno Selangor bagi melancarkan tugasnya sebagai Menteri Besar dan memastikan Umno negeri itu bergerak sebagai satu pasukan. Secara peribadi beliau menyifatkan pelantikan itu sebagai satu tanggungjawab yang amat berat. Dr Khir, 35, bagaimanapun berkata pelantikannya itu satu kepercayaan kepada golongan muda untuk bersama-sama dalam arus perdana kepimpinan dan politik negara bagi memastikan negara tetap aman dan maju.

  • Khalid Issues Challenge to Khir Malaysiakini.Com July 15, 2010
    Khalid issues challenge to Khir Malaysiakini.com July 15, 2010 Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim today challenged his predecessor to join him for an open meeting with Kuala Semesta Sdn Bhd (KSSB) to get the full brief on the illegal sand mining menace in the state. He said former menteri besar Mohamad Khir Toyo should first get his facts straight before attacking the state administration for allegedly allowing the illegal activity to get out of hand. azlan"We know he has information on illegal sand mining, but we have information that he does not have," Khalid said when interjecting during Khir's speech during the debate on the appointment of an opposition member as Public Accounts Committee chief. Khalid stressed that Khir never made the effort to approach KSSB to update himself on the state's progress in battling illegal sand mining. "During the time that Sungai Panjang (Khir's constituency) was the menteri besar, there had been numerous cases of sand theft. "Before raising this issue again in the House, please account for all your facts... I urge that this issue is not raised in the House until we go for that meeting," Khalid said. NONEKhir (right), when met during the break, said he is ready to take up Khalid's challenge but implied that it won't solve anything. "I've gone through these technical explanations many times when I was menteri besar. The only question I want to ask is who is going to pay for the 36.5m (deep) crater?," he said, referring to his expose of alleged illegal sand mining in Kg Olak Lempit in Kuala Langat.

  • Malaysia's Messy Media
    Turning A Blind Eye To Corruption: Malaysia’s Messy Media By Jean Paul Leon* 1. Nadeswaran is arguably Malaysia’s most famous investigative journalist. Popularly known as Citizen Nades, he is sometimes described as the scariest man in Malaysia. Nadeswaran, who works for The Sun (one of Malaysia’s top English language newspapers) has, together with his long-time partner Terence Fernandez, broken story after story on corruption and government misuse of public funds. Arguably the most prominent story is their exposé of the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal, a 2 billion ringgit (US$648 million) industrial park project that went over budget due to dubious financial dealings, including the purchase of land at a price far in excess of its value. Once asked if he thought the Malaysian media were doing a good job in exposing corruption, Nadeswaran’s reply was cutting: “You must be joking. Do you know how corrupted some of our journalists are?” he said. He added that corruption exists in many forms, including the giving of Datuk-ships, a Malaysian title akin to “sir”. He highlighted the case of now-deceased assemblyman Zakaria Deros, who made headlines in 2008 for building a massive mansion in the town of Klang, in the state of Selangor. Zakaria had not submitted building plans for his mansion. It was later discovered that he had not paid taxes on another property for 12 years. In addition, his family was caught operating an illegal satay restaurant on government reserve land. “Every reporter worth his salt in Klang knew about his palace.
